Before Using Your VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

● In this VCR, use only tapes with the mark.

● Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from

the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCR.

Removable labels like these can jam the VCR.

● Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s per-

formance. The video heads will eventually require cleaning or

replacement. Cleaning or replacement of the video heads

should be performed by an authorized service center.

1

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the

remote control by sliding the lid in the direction of the arrow.

2

Insert two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with

their

+

and – ends aligned as indicated.

3

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

● Point the remote control at the VCR’s remote sensor (see page

21) when using the remote control to operate the VCR.

● Do not put objects between the remote control and the VCR.

Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings

are not erased accidentally.

1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriv-

er.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

Erasure Prevention

VCR maintenance

• The remote control and its batteries

are supplied.

• Do not mix alkaline and man-

ganese batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
